A5394 is a phase II, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Forty-eight study participants will be randomized 3:1 to receive SLGN or its placebo (36 active and 12 placebo), and randomization will be stratified by HBeAg status. One-half of the study participants will be HBeAg positive (n=24) at screening, and the other half will be HBeAg negative (n=24). All participants will remain on their non-study-provided antiviral therapy throughout the study.
